This is what I found on the way up there. I would love to stop at more then one thrift store, these were five dollars each. The spoon is marked on the back of it hestens Norway. The Tongs are marked L. W. H. On the inside. And then a number I believe it's 8305. Or 830S?

Any self respecting picker has to hit some kind of sale while on vacation. How could you not!


Beachkid... very nice finds for a thrift store, was it a chain store?

That is what I call a vacation! Always on the lookout. Gosh, our habits! LOL! My husband kicks me every time I want to stop on vacation! Very nice finds.

No, it was like an antique/ thrift/ junk store. I think a lot of different people had different cases kinda Like an antique mall but not nearly as nice. Really almost like a indoor flea market. Near Sarasota hidden treasures I believe. Last time there i bought 2 rolls of standing liberty quarters at spot, all dated. 1925-1930.

On Friday my sis flies in at 11 am. So I'm going go get her so I can look for yard sales prior. Hehe. Then meet everyone at the park or pool. Whatever.

My wife has a rule for me. We have to be more than an hour from home and if so I can visit 1 store per day for picking.

Very nice, yeah here in Norway we mark the silver with 830 S.

Out standing score Thats a way cool spoon ! I like the sugar tongs too. I feel bad for everybody that only gets 1 stop per vacation. Mrs.Villa-v is an artist so we stop anyplace the has cool, old or funky stuff for sale. It may take a little longer to get where we are going and there is little to no room left in the SUV but thats 1/2 the fun

Hello Beachkid23!
I picked a pair of silver sugartongs marked "L. W. H." and "830S" in a thriftshop in Oslo in July 2023. They seem to be identical to the ones you found on your way to Orlando in 2014.
I was wondering, do you have any more information about the tongs or the maker "L. W. H"?
